I have just realised that I have not blogged since Christmas! I hadn’t looked at the blog for ages and had forgotten that the last post was my Christmas greeting. A bit out of date now, so I thought i had better add something new.
Although we check the boat regularly and spend the day or weekend on board, we have not been out cruising yet this year. So no new stuff to report.
Every time we decide we will have a weekend cruise, something else crops up. I don’t suppose we have tried hard enough.
We have had a lot of work done on Blackstone over the last couple of years and she is looking good now. I have already blogged the stretch and the repaint, but I never got round to blogging the refit so here it is.
Saloon before the stretch.
After the stretch, with just the floor laid.
Batons in place.
Insulation fitted.
Walls boarded above the gunnels.
Below the gunnels done - routed to look like tongue and groove.
Front bulkhead and new door.
Some of the trim.
Building the dinette.
Table in place.
Corner cupboard and shelves.
Building the shelving unit.
Cupboard doors to hide the TV. Floor covering laid.
Roof finished. LED lights and new brass vent covers fitted.
Side hatch lined and beautiful panels fitted. Panels painted by
All done and several coats of varnish later ………..
………. and Blackstone’s refitted saloon is ready and waiting for us to furnish and decorate.
Looking forward to the extra room when we go cruising this summer.
